Our affections are not ours to be blighted and crucified; they are ours to be deepened and purified. The rich opportunities of life are not held out to us only to be snatched away by an invisible hand patiently waiting for the hour when the cup is sweetest; they are given to us that we may grow, alike through their rise or their withdrawal. They are real, they are sweet, and they are worthy of our longing for them; we gain nothing by calling them dross, or the world an illusion, or ourselves the victims of deception, or by exalting renunciation as the highest virtue. When these opportunities are denied us, it is a real, not an imaginary, loss which we sustain; and our part is not that of bare renunciation, of simple surrender; our part is to recognize the loss, to bear the pain, and to find a deeper and richer life in doing the will of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Since all the riches of this world May be gifts from the devil and earthly kings,  I should suspect ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61377]]></link><description><![CDATA[Since all the riches of this world May be gifts from the devil and earthly kings,  I should suspect that I worshipped the devil   If I thanked my God for worldly things.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61377</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This event was intended to raise money for the victims of Hurricane Katrina while bringing people together, regardless of faith. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37861]]></link><description><![CDATA[This event was intended to raise money for the victims of Hurricane Katrina while bringing people together, regardless of faith.

The discoveries of modern physical and biological science, of astronomy, and of psychology, have profoundly influenced his conception of the "size" of God. If there be a Mind behind the immense complexities of the phenomena that man can observe, then it is that of a Being tremendous in His power and wisdom: it is emphatically not that of a little god. It is perfectly conceivable that such a Being has a moral purpose which is being worked out on the stage of this small planet. It is even possible to believe that such a God deliberately reduced Himself to the stature of humanity in order to visit the earth in Person, as all Christians affirm.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7712</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[morning: that first sapphire dome of glow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46786]]></link><description><![CDATA[morning: that first sapphire dome of glow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46786</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are several good protections against temptation, but the surest is cowardice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10482]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are several good protections against temptation, but the surest is cowardice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10482</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're improving.
